Hot times for Revo and PRISM/OYO

Hot times for Revo and PRISM/OYO

Maria Pütz-Willems

Dear Insider,


Please cool off – in the hotel! Seven hotels in the lovely little town of Mainz (near Frankfurt) are offering a cool double room during the hot weather, for just €55. It must be at least 33 degrees, and the weatherman must have forecast the heat five days in advance.


The German hotel industry has been smouldering since January this year. Behind the scenes, the sell-off continues as part of the Revo insolvency proceedings. The leading insolvency solicitors have everything under control – or so they believe. Four weeks ago, they announced five groups of bidders, but they still haven't revealed their names.

An interview in Israel reveals a new player entering the fray: the developer and investor Israel Canada plans to enter the German hotel market through its company “Brown Hotels” – via five operating agreements and one property (four of which are H Hotels from the Revo estate), according to the newsletter tageskarte.

Marriott's management in Bethesda is unhappy that 51 Marriott owners, who own nearly 1,000 hotels, want a larger share of Bonvoy’s revenue and are also demanding transparency. Sarah Douag has taken a look behind the scenes.


Saudi Arabia has lost face. The colossal NEOM project is scaling back, and with it, its financial clout. There is a shortfall of $16 billion needed to terminate the contracts that are still in force. The damage this project has caused to nature, the environment and people is incalculable. Sarah – who was in the mood for writing this week – was on the hunt for figures.


The architects at the renowned Japanese firm Kengo Kuma & Associates quarried the material for the façades of the new Silk Towers from a tuff quarry – right on their doorstep in Batumi, Georgia. Local resources, wood and precise wind measurements, for example, point the way to the future of urban life. This is about the harmony between nature, living and social. Susanne Stauss reports: The presentation and discussion were part of our HITT Think Tank in Brussels.
